Yearling I saw had this thin flakey character, if you just scuff it I think the top layer will just come off easily.
My loakes has better quality leather. My lobbs are in another leather-universe.
If you compare mrsp here the RMW are around 400 euro. Lobbs are roughly double that. Actually the quality of Lobbs are far more than double that of RMW.

I have a problem with some Gardener boots that I bought in a size 9.5 G, they fitted well in the store, but have stretched over the past week, and I am thinking really, a half size smaller would have been perfect (I was told in the shop that they should fit perfectly from the first wear, but from reading parts of this forum I realize that this doesn't apply to the heavy greasy kip leather of the gardener boots). I have tried thicker socks to compensate, but this requires ankle socks over thick normal socks, and my feet get too hot and uncomfortable.

I tested some foam innersoles from my old RMW stockyard boots in them, and that seemed to work perfectly, however I am wondering if having foam innersoles somehow voids the guarantee on the shoes when it comes to resoling? or if this somehow damages the shoes in wear?

Any recommendations for a particular material or brand of insert would be appreciated.

Inserts should not affect the guarantee or the ability to resole the boot. If sized/cut correctly they should not damage the boot either. I use scholl inserts, but really anything should be OK
